In a surreal tapestry of gossamer silk and sunbeams,
\nI have etched the beautiful contours of your face. <\/p>\n
The somnolent eyes,
\ndrooping as if a lotus-eater had sprayed the Sandman’s opiate into them,
\nthe juxtaposed limbs heavy-wrought and listless<\/p>\n
….you are a dream, <\/p>\n
you are the rainbow fantasy in speckled and gold-flaked dust,
\nshimmering on heaven’s stairways
\nand bright-punctured like a lover’s acid sighs on the firmament.<\/p>\n
You are the elusive
\nan ever out-of-reach mirage-evanescence
\nthat quill-wielders speak in hushed awe-filled tones.<\/p>\n
You are my fantasy,
\nmy deliverance of sleepless nights<\/p>\n
….and somehow, their reason too!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
